The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

After learning that their first opponent was from an unknown high school, the members of the Nanamori Kendo Club breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted to face a strong enemy in the first match.

Not to mention that they couldn't win the fight, the psychological pressure alone was enough to make them anxious all day long.

While feeling thankful, some people picked up their phones to search for information about Xincheng High School. After confirming that there were no awards in kendo competitions in the school's resume, they felt relieved and turned around to joke with their companions.

Although Nanamori hasn't won any awards.

"I suddenly felt relieved."

Words that might be impolite to the opponent just came out of Shiraki Ryoko's mouth.

"What? I'm thinking about something. Sister Baimu, what did you say just now?" Qing Gong Feng took out his mobile phone and prepared to record.

"I said I suddenly felt much more at ease."

"Oh? Sister Bai Mu thinks that Xincheng High School is not worthy of being our opponent?"

"Um -- because... Hey! What are you doing with your phone?"

Shiraki Ryoko's heart skipped a beat when she saw Kiyomiya Kaede holding up her cell phone.

"It's a recording," Qing Gong Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently, "prepare it for the people from Xincheng High School to listen to later. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Sister Bai Mu, please continue."

Shiraki Ryoko punched Kiyomiya Kaede on the shoulder. She opened her eyes wide and gritted her teeth, "...What the hell are you talking about! You want to die?! Delete it now!"

"Watch your attitude, Sister Bai Mu, I have the evidence against you."

Qing Gong Feng leaned back and said proudly.

"Handle? Haha..." Shiraki Ryoko smiled kindly, "That person is um - Asai classmate, right? I think I need to talk to her later."

"Wait wait wait, Sister Bai Mu, we have known each other for so many years, you can't hurt me!"

"Huh?" Shiraki Ryoko sneered and raised her chin towards Qingmiya Feng's phone.

"...I'm lying to you. There's no recording at all."

"Really?"

"Of course, Sister Bai Mu and I have known each other for so many years, how could I harm you?"

This sentence was said with great righteousness. If Shiraki Ryoko didn't know what kind of person Kiyomiya Kaede was, she might have believed it.

"Heh, Kiyomiya Kaede, Kiyomiya Kaede," Shiraki Ryoko looked him over, "You're getting thicker and thicker-skinned. No wonder your kendo skills are improving. It turns out that your skin has become thicker."

"Sister Bai Mu is joking."

Qing Gong Feng bowed.

"Bah! Who is joking with you?" She said with a serious expression, worry and confusion in her eyes, "Come on, come with me."

There are people everywhere, so it's naturally not a good place to talk.

"Sister Baimu, it was just a joke, you really don't have to beat me up." Qinggong Feng shouted loudly in injustice.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you are still willing to call me Sister Bai Mu, then follow me."

"Okay, okay, I'll come out."

He sighed softly, said hello to the two female teachers, and followed Shiraki Ryoko.

Before the competition started, the huge venue had already been cleaned up and divided into many open spaces. Many volunteers were moving the tables and chairs for the judges. At that time, three or two judges would judge each area.

The crowd was noisy, the speakers above their heads kept playing passionate music, and the entire venue was filled with the youthful, energetic, and somewhat excited and nervous faces of young boys and girls.

Perhaps, it really has some flavor of the 2D hot-blooded sports anime.

It’s just that in life, it would be great if everything could go as smoothly as kendo.

But it’s better this way. What fun would it be if everything went too smoothly?

Qing Gong Feng had already come to terms with it. There would be pain in the future, but he would never stop moving forward.

The two found a bench and sat down. The sun had not yet risen overhead, and an unnamed tree shielded them from the sunlight coming from the east.

It's sunny and windy today.

Shiraki Ryoko took a deep breath, her eyebrows raised because of her emotions, and she looked at Qingmiya Feng.

"Tell me the truth, do you like that Asai classmate?"

Qing Gong Feng sighed and smiled bitterly.

"I have known Rina for more than ten years, and we are very familiar with each other. If she wants to leave, I will probably be very upset."

When Shiraki Ryoko saw the pain behind Kiyomiya Kaede's indifferent expression, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes and asked with a bit of regret.

"Then why do you still want to provoke Chinatsu?"

"Provoke," Qing Gong Feng rubbed his head and his eyes fell on the leaves above his head. He had good eyesight and could see the emerald green veins of the leaves.

"Have you ever thought about what your reputation would be like in school if the truth came out? Chinatsu would definitely be in pain, and maybe even Master and the others would know about it."

"Sister Baimu." He suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"As you can see, I'm not a good person in the strict sense, or a person of good character? I'm so ashamed. After reading so many books, I can't think of any suitable words for a while. Forget it."

Seeing Shiraki Ryoko looking at him worriedly, Qingmiya Feng laughed.

"I have thought about what Sister Shiraki said, but I will not hide my thoughts. In a few days, Rina and I will go out for fun, and then I will explain this to her."

"Are you going to give up?" Shiraki Ryoko's voice suddenly became louder.

Qing Gong Feng glanced at her strangely, "What are you talking about? Giving up something? I won't do that."

"Oh......"

Hearing this, Shiraki Ryoko suddenly felt relieved for some reason. Perhaps, in her heart, she didn't want to hear Qing Gong Feng say that he would give up on either girl, because things had already happened, which meant that he was already playing with two girls at the same time. If he gave up one for the other, people might really look down on him.

"The days ahead will be very difficult. I don't even dare to think about how sad Rina will be after I tell her the truth."

"Humph, who told you not to control yourself?"

Shiraki Ryoko collected her thoughts and curled her lips.

"I can't help it. Sometimes people can't control themselves. Of course, it may also be because I am a scumbag."

Qingmiya Feng was not going to explain too much about the principles and psychological processes to Shiraki Ryoko, who had been single since birth.

"But Chinatsu knows your situation, so why is she still able to... Did you use some tricks?"

"My charm is so great that I can't hide it even if I try hard to restrain it, ah."

Qing Gong Feng lifted his hair in front of his forehead with a melancholy look and sighed.

"Heh." A look of disdain appeared on Shiraki Ryoko's face.

"Don't worry. If you don't trust me, do you still trust Chinatsu? Chinatsu's personality is such that she won't be fooled so easily."

"Girls are most afraid of thick-skinned people. Can Chinatsu be a match for you?"

"Hey, Sister Shiraki, what you said is not right. What's the point of being an enemy or not? Chinatsu and I have a real relationship."

"What are you talking about, scumbag, bah!"

"A scumbag is fickle-minded, but every one of my feelings is real."

"That's nice to say."

"It is what it is."

......

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the green leaves fluttered like pieces of letter paper, turning and moving into a bush to keep the flowers company.
